    the times 
    Verse 1

    when 
    we 
    were 
    kids 

    Playing 
    war 
    games 
    in 
    your yard 

    Everybody 
    had to 
    be 
    a hero 

    Verse 2
    And 
    get 
    one 
    in 
    the heart 

    Night 
    would fall 
    and we'd 
    call 
    a truce 

    And 
    all 
    go 
    home 

    Verse 3

    Years 
    went 
    by 
    we were 
    average 
    guys 

    Playing 
    life 
    by 
    the rule 
    of thumb 

    Till a 
    man 
    came 
    on 
    the TV 

    Talking 
    bout 
    war 
    like 
    he wanted 
    one 

    He 
    said 
    Everybody 
    line 
    up, 
    backs 
    to 
    the wall 

    Till 
    your 
    numbers 
    called 

    Verse 4
    You've gotta 
    go 
    and be 
    hero 

    I've 
    got a 
    new 
    game 
    for all 
    you 
    boys 

    Its 
    war 
    without 
    a choice 
    compulsory 
    hero 

    Just 
    try 
    and make 
    it home 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 5
    Grandpa 
    heard 
    the call 
    to 
    all 

    For 
    a war 
    to end 
    all 
    wars 

    And 
    your 
    dad 
    went 
    off 
    to 
    do his 
    bit 

    And he 
    had 
    to go 
    one 
    more 

    You've 
    really 
    got 
    no say 
    in 
    it 

    You 
    have to 
    fight 
    and that's 
    the law 

    Verse 6

    You've 
    gotta 
    go 
    and be a 
    hero 

    They 
    made 
    a law 
    you 
    had to 
    go 
    fight 

    One 
    more 
    crazy 
    war 
    compulsory 
    hero 

    Just 
    try and 
    make 
    it home 

    Verse 7
    So 
    all 
    that had 
    to 
    be heroes 

    Went 
    off to 
    do 
    their 
    chores 

    None 
    of them 
    really 
    wouldn't 
    of known 

    How 
    far 
    bloody 
    war 
    goes 

    They're 
    dying 
    to make 
    it 
    home 


    Verse 8
    Then I 
    think 
    back 
    on all 
    those 
    times 

    Play
    ing 
    war 
    games 
    in 
    your 
    yard 

    Every
    body 
    had to 
    be 
    a her

    Back 
    then 
    that 
    wasn't 
    hard 

    Night 
    would 
    fall 
    on the 

    battle 
    zone 

    And we could 
    all 
    go 
    home 

    Verse 9
    You 
    had to 
    go 
    and be a 
    hero 

    They 
    made 
    a law 
    that you 

    had to 
    go 
    and fight 

    One 
    more 
    crazy 
    war

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
